Discussion of SUBJECT, FORM, and CONTENT in
Photography.
The Three Basic Components of a work of Art
1. Subject: (The "what")
A person, a place, a thing or an Idea.
2. Composition or Form: (The
"how") Arrangement
of shapes and the other basic building blocks of the visual arts into a visually
effective organization to express an idea. In the Fine Arts the term
composition is usually used while in the Applied Arts the term design is
used. In the Applied Arts DESIGN also implies a well thought out and
accurate idea or plan, committed to paper, that can be read and produced by a
trained technician. (As in a blueprint by an architect for a contractor)
3. Content: (The "why")
The emotional or intellectual message of an artwork.
